About Tedo Zhordania

  • Tedo Zhordania (Georgian: ???? ????????; 10 April 1854 – 22 October 1916) was a Georgian historian, philologist, and educator. Born in an Orthodox priest's family in the village of Mokvi, then part of the Russian Empire, Zhordania studied theology in Kutaisi, Tbilisi, and Moscow.
  • The leading Russian historian of that period, Vasily Klyuchevsky, recommended the young Georgian student to pursue his career in Moscow, but Zhordania returned to Tbilisi, where he taught geography at a theological college and supervised church schools.
  • An amateur historian, Zhordania revealed, studied, and published a number of hitherto unknown historical records.
  • Many of these sources were subsequently lost and are known to us exclusively from Zhordania's publications.
  • He died in Kaspi.
  • He was subsequently buried at the Didube Pantheon in Tbilisi.
